Dependent Personal Pronouns

Among the chief uses of the dependent pronouns are the following:

As an object of any form of the verb, except the infinitive:

habk wy 'thou sendest me'djanf sw 'he ferried him over'

After a number of particles like ysth 'lo', mk 'behold', nn 'not', ntt 'that', as well as the relative adjective nty 'which', the pronoun frequently serves as subject when an adverbial predicate follows:

nfr tw hn`y 'thou art happy with me'
(Note: tw here is for thw, and is to be carefully distinguished from the indefinite pronoun.)

Reflexive Use of the Dependent Pronouns

As with the suffix, the dependent pronouns are used reflexively:

rdyn(y) wy hr chty 'I place myself on my belly'

The pronoun st appears to be an old form of the dependent pronoun third singular fem, which has been specialised for certain particular uses, mainly as third plural 'they', 'them' or the neuter form of 'it'.
